About

I am an ordained minister who also works as a photographer. Having worked at weddings before in a different capacity, I think, gives me a unique perspective on the officiant's duties. I am happy to write vows, use what you have, incorporate special activities into the ceremony, or whatever you need to personalize your experience. I have done all sorts of weddings and have performed various cording ceremonies, unity candles, and so on! A wedding is such a special time. It is always exciting and an honor to be involved. Performing the ceremony is special and amazing! I also love helping to write vows.

Wayne was the perfect choice for officiating our ceremony. He added quotes from Dr. Seuss, corinthians and Les Miserables. You may say Dr. Seuss? He authored books for kids, and you would be correct. However, the quote was very relevant and I ( being the groom) felt it was very poignant as this was a new beginning in our relationship and should be approached with the wide eyed wonder of a child by both of us. The other quotes were just as relevant, but they were a little more personal. You would have to hire him for your ceremony to find out more, but I believe he would not disappoint.

What a privilege is was to have Wayne officiant our ceremony. Wayne provided us everything we asked for. If you are looking for something truly special and prepared especially for you this is the gentleman for you. He will be our officiant for our vow renewal. Thank you Wayne for a great and special moment in our life. M and G

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Depends mostly on distance traveled
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We go over how they'd like the ceremony to be performed, and whether or not they have written their own vows. If so, we work together to make sure there is a "flow" to the ceremony. If not, I talk to them about what they want, if they'd like me to write the vows, etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ordained minister with a Ph. D. in History, and this helps me find the right type of ceremony as well as quotes that fit the setting and the couple.
